    Basic engine , the main difference is in the stroke .

    4.6 ltr crankshaft gives a longer stroke and has shorter conrods than a 4.0 ltr .

    The pistons are different but can interchange depending on the compression ratio required , the rings are the same .

    There are other differences that are mated to each as in autos , ETC .

    Also the blocks were graded differently in the factory, with the 4.6 getting the most uniform wall thickness - though not needed to know if your rebuilding one, but of you can get a 4.6 block is reassuring.
    The camshafts are different too.

    I understand that new blocks are getting very hard to come by these days. They only exist on somebody's shelf somewhere.

    Is there anything P38 related that you don't own?

    Ron, he said P38 related.


    P38s have no relationship with the word 'reliability'.

    I know that.
    Ron was implying that reliability was P38 related.

    Reliability was an option on the order sheet wasn't it? If you ticked it they made your car on Wednesday.
